G&T helps fund the Women in Property Central Scotland Student Awards
As branch sponsor of Women in Property Central Scotland, G&T is actively supporting this year鈥檚 National Student Awards taking place on 23rd May.
The programme seeks out and recognises the brightest students studying degree subjects relating to the built environment. The awards raise awareness of the opportunities available to students upon graduation, as well as highlighting to industry the necessity of connecting with Universities early in the education process.
Many students secure work placements as a result of competing for the awards, as well as permanent positions upon graduation.
鈥業 have a real soft spot for the annual Student Awards celebration. The mix of attendees seems to energise the room and we find that students, lecturers and industry contacts value the opportunity to connect. Listening to the experiences and views of today鈥檚 young women whilst offering guidance and reassurance as they enter the industry provides value to everyone.鈥�Jillian Love, G&T marketing executive and WiP branch Chair
